General Practitioners

Osteoporosis
Arthritis
Fibromyalgia
When the adrenal glands become fatigued from constant stress, you feel fatigued as well. Adrenal fatigue also plays a role in many other health concerns such as allergies, hypoglycemia, lightheadedness, food cravings, PMS and menopausal disorders, fibromyalgia, poor immunity, insomnia, autoimmune conditions, accelerated aging, environmental sensitivities, and of course, chronic fatigue syndrome. In a self-perpetuating cycle, chronic disease conversely contributes to adrenal fatigue.
Plantar Fasciitis
Medical Weight Loss
Family Practice
Dr. Chan received her osteopathic medical degree from Ohio University and completed her Family Practice Residency in 1997. She later became board certified in integrative holistic medicine. Dr. Chan was drawn to Osteopathic Medicine because of its holistic and individualized approach.
High Cholesterol
Colonoscopy
Conventional GI assessment typically only uses imaging such as endoscopy and colonoscopy and simple blood tests. If no pathology is seen with these tests, the patient is often told nothing is wrong.
Constipation
Irritable Bowel Syndrome
“Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth”. SIBO is now considered the leading cause of IBS (Irritable Bowel Syndrome), affecting 1 in 5 Americans.
Diarrhea

Female Infertility
Endometriosis
There are many causes of SIBO, but it is often a case of severe food poisoning that trips the trigger. Bacteria like E. coli, Salmonella and others, secrete toxins that damage the “migrating motor complex”. The MMC is a set of automatic cleansing waves that sweep the digestive tract from the top down during times of rest (between meals and at night). If this is damaged, it allows bacteria to move upstream. Overuse of acid-blockers, antibiotics, opiates and other drugs also contribute. Altered anatomy of the intestinal tract, through surgery, adhesions, endometriosis or diverticulitis, can also create areas where bacteria can be trapped and overgrow to cause SIBO.

Endoscopy
Urinary Tract Infection

Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
Guided by training that identifies the musculoskeletal system as a key element of health, we use hands-on osteopathic manipulative treatment (OMT) to focus on your body’s interconnected system of nerves, muscles, and bones. OMT is typically used to treat various sources of muscle and joint pain and conditions such as carpal tunnel syndrome, and additionally can be used to treat asthma, sinus disorders, migraines, and menstrual pain – often all without medications or more invasive medical procedures.
Multiple Sclerosis
NAD plays a critical role in mitochondrial function so is commonly used to treat chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS) and neurodegenerative conditions such as multiple sclerosis and Parkinson’s. NAD has also been shown to improve memory and cognition.

Depression
Insomnia
Anxiety

Endocrinologist

Diabetes Care
Hypothyroidism
When abnormal, the thyroid can either be underactive (hypothyroidism) or overactive (hyperthyroidism). While hyperthyroidism is rare, hypothyroidism is unfortunately more common. People with hypothyroidism typically experience fatigue, cold hands and feet, constipation, weight gain, hair loss, dry skin, depression, and poor immune function among many symptoms.
Thyroid
The doctors at Marin Natural Medicine Clinic are highly experienced in the innovative diagnosis and treatment of thyroid disorders. We can order the proper tests – including environmental impacts and heavy metal toxicities which can cause thyroid dysfunction – and know how to evaluate the results and establish proper, safe, state-of-the-science treatment protocols for you.

Eczema
Rashes

Physical Therapists

Sports Medicine
Whether it’s women’s or men’s health, environmental or sports medicine, bio-identical hormone replacement or thyroid disease diagnosis and treatment – we stay at the forefront of medicine and research to assure you the best outcomes.
Physical Therapy
Herbal, nutritional and homeopathic medicine are included in Dr. Wagner’s treatment plans along with ozone and nutrient IV therapies. Dr. Wagner’s long standing clinical experience in orthopedic physical therapy have afforded her the ability to become adept at regenerative injection therapies as a naturopathic doctor. Whether one experiences joint instability, chronic pain or dysfunction from progressive joint wear and tear, prolotherapy and/or platelet rich plasma injections have proven for many patients a successful treatment approach to restore a pain free active lifestyle. Trigger point, perineural and scar release injections may also be helpful when resolving chronic pain conditions.

Plantar Fasciitis

Allergies
The functional assessment approach we take to analyzing digestive function provides us with actionable information on how your body is actually digesting food and absorbing nutrients. We assess the inflammation status in your GI tract, identifying both good and bad bacteria, yeast/fungi and parasites. Additionally, we use food allergy testing to give us valuable insights. This way, we can get to the specific causes of your gastrointestinal disorder.
